Starship Invasions OST by Gil Mellé

Publication date: 1977

Topics: soundtrack

This soundtrack from 1977 by jazz composer and artist Gil Mellé is an amazing, colorful work of art. What strikes me is how this music got involved with the 1977 Canadian sci-fi film "Starship Invasions" (starring Christopher Lee!!!).

When watching the film, it was a typical B-movie experience, except for the fact that the music continually struck me as beautiful and clever and engaging--nonetheless, the music does NOT match up with any of the vibe or story of the film! It was a surreal experience!!

When listening to the music alone, I imagine some gritty, city, detective drama. And, musically, it is a joy to listen to! So, I've taken the available synthetically-made stereo tracks (it feels like these were taken from the original reel-to-reel, that perhaps wasn't stored too carefully, and then manipulated on early equipment), and I ran them through my up-to-date basic mastering system, to at least try to breathe some fullness into these tracks.

It's still not the greatest quality. Someday, I may track down the original mono files and just build them up from scratch... I like the music enough, I may just do that someday. But for now, I hope you'll enjoy this symphonically jazzy soundtrack masterpiece by Gil Mellé!

Subject: A Very Surprising Score

It’s like a great combination between Keith Jarrett’s work and early Bond scores, and it doesn’t even match the film it was used on, but it’s a great standalone listen nonetheless.
